Thought McDaid and Tierney really stood up against the wind and without 3 of their best players on the field.

Cooke could be the difference for them this year. Presence alone.

Imagine there was a thought process out there that either Mayo or Galway wouldnât mind losing too much today.
Gobshitery of the highest order.

McDaidâs run. McHughâs diving block. Some fantastic moments in that 2nd half.

Awful wides, spurning a gilt edged goal chance, a goalkeeping kick out calamity leading to a self inflicted black card, level with all the momentum aided by a stiff breeze with loads of time left - pretty much the full Mayo bingo card there.

Its like watching a tragi-comedy.
What a game. It ebbed and flowed like The Thrilla in Manilla. Controversy, needle, great scores and loads and loads of ferocious battles for possession. A brilliant advertizzment for the new rules.

Big element of the Mayo Mayoing the fuck of it alright
But fair to say Galway had the better shooter and fielders and this was a key factor

Iâm sorry but they are the biggest bottlers in sport.
Matched only by Leinster Rugby and Tottenham Hotspur FC.
In fairness to Joyce he hooked Mulkerrin and Sweeney without hesitating.

Excellent game of ball. Good win by Galway, especially in the absence of Walsh and Comer.
Another two fingers to the people who want the provincial championships abolished in favour of rational round robin dreariness.
Itâs nothing to do with the rules.
The only reason that mattered is because it was Galway and Mayo in a Connacht final.

Incredible how much better that game is aesthetically from recent meetings of the sides. And on a sunny day in May. Hereâs to the FRC and the split season
McDaid coming across as a very decent young man.

It has just become popular to say scrap the provincals or play them in January
unfortunately this talk gets credence and gather momentum
Long live the provincals, either Louth or Meath will win a provincal title next Sunday amidst great and joyous scenes and todayâs Connacht final was a superb occasion
Granted the Munster final didnt offer much
